There are 34 percent more Hispanics in the southwest Ohio than there were in 2000

“Although their numbers remain small, the Hispanic population in southwest Ohio is growing faster than the rest of the state and even the nation, according to recently released Census Bureau estimates.

Hispanics account for 14.4 percent of the population nationally and 1.5 percent in Ohio. But fueled by increases in Warren, Butler and Hamilton counties, the numbers are creeping up. The Census estimates that the Hispanic population has increased by 19 percent in Ohio and 20 percent nationally since 2000. In southwest Ohio, the growth is at 34 percent.”
